It is safe to predict that questions will be asked
in Parliament about the present condition of the Supreme War Council at Versailles. It will be remembered that General Pooh was the principal Frenoh military representative, and that our own representative was Sir Henry Rawlineon. Now that General Pooh is co-ordinating the Allied strategy on the Western Front, it is to be presumed that he has no time for the routine work at Versailles. As for Sir Henry Rawliruion, he is once more commanding an army in the fighting- line. No due has been given whether the eclipse of the work of the Versailles Council is temporary or final. Perhaps the Govern- ment may consider that the Council has already served its purpose. On the other hand, Mr. Lloyd George spoke of its creation as one of the most important events of the war, and he seemed to see no limit to its future operations.
